6 Series Low Profile Digitizer

Applications requiring high-speed digitizers shouldn’t trade-off performance when turning on channels. The 6 Series Low Profile Digitizer sets a new standard by not interleaving sample rate, bandwidth or record length. You get the fastest and most accurate performance from your digitizer – all in a 2U space.

  • 25 GS/s on all 4 channels
  • DC to 8 GHz on all 4 channels
  • 12-bit analog-to-digital converters
  • Up to 1 billion samples (1 Gpt) on all 4 channels
  • Up to 2 GHz RF DDC bandwidth on all channels
  • 2U rack ready digitizer
  • Best in class low noise and ENOB

Built-in Spectrum View inputs with DDC & IQ data offload

Built-in Spectrum View inputs with DDC & IQ data offload

Whether you’re a spectrum analyzer expert or an occasional user, you’ll be able to put the built-in Spectrum View right to work. The Tektronix TEK049 ASIC has patented dual signal paths with an ADC and DDC that allow independent controls of both time domain and frequency domain.

Highlights

  • Up to 2 GHz bandwidth with Digital Down Converter (DDC)
  • Individual time domain and frequency domain controls
  • Fast raw IQ data offloading to PC
  • RF vs Time Triggering (trigger on frequency or magnitude changes)

Remote Control and Automation

Test automation increases test speed, reduces mistakes, and ensures that every device meets the same standard of quality. Low profile oscilloscopes efficiently execute automated procedures without wasting valuable rack space. With the right resources, tools, and tutorials, it's easier than ever to produce fast, consistent results. Get started quickly with developer resources, Python instrument drivers, or user-friendly PC applications.

  • Comprehensive, fully-supported programmable interfaces enable development of robust custom software
  • Simplify automation with Tektronix’ free Python Drivers Package 
  • TekScope PC Software offers the same analysis capability available on Tektronix oscilloscopes, on your PC. It supports the new TekHSI high speed interface for much faster data transfers to your PC
  • Built-in *eScope or Windows Remote Desktop let you control your scope over any LAN
